It’s time once again for Dota 2 teams around the world to show if they have what it takes as the DPC Spring Tour starts this week. North America, China, and Western Europe all start their matches tomorrow. Meanwhile, Southeast Asia starts Wednesday while South America is on Thursday.
What makes this upcoming tournament exciting is that we get to see the preparation of the different teams, especially with the release of Patch 7.31. If you haven't been up to date, this new patch introduced a lot of new cool things like a new hero and new items.

Postponed Tournament
In a post, Valve said that the Spring Tour for Eastern Europe is postponed. In addition, Epic Esports Events has expressed its intention to give up its rights to the DPC so that the players, teams, and community as a whole can focus on security and safety.
Valve revealed that some players in the region have been asking for the tournament to continue. However, Valve said that this won’t be possible though they are in discussion with the teams and players to see if there’s a way to conduct the tournament.
Valve ended by saying that they hope to bring back an international audience in the future and wish for everyone in the affected regions to be safe.
Dota 2 is available on PC.
